Method

Tarragon Vinaigrette: In small bowl, whisk together vinegar, shallot, mustard and salt; gradually whisk in oil in thin steady stream. Stir in tarragon; set aside.

Salad: In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add bread, tossing to coat. Cook bread in single layer, stirring occasionally, until toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towel–lined plate; set aside.

In large saucepan, add enough water to come 2 to 3 inches up side; bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer; stir in vinegar. Crack 1 egg into small cup; gently slide egg into pan. Repeat with second egg; cook until whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towel–lined plate to dry. Repeat with remaining eggs.

In large bowl, combine cress, snap peas, beans, halloumi, fennel and radishes. Drizzle with Tarragon Vinaigrette; toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates; top each with croutons and 1 egg.
